For as long as he can remember, Jason Lackner has been on his own, fending for himself. Having lost his mother to cancer and never knowing his father, at a young age Jason was forced to learn how to protect himself and how to fend for himself – going into the foster care system didn't do anything for him, and he was always bouncing from home to home. By the time he turned 18, and still didn't have a family, the system released him and he tried to make his own ends meet.

Which of course meant that Jason, as dumb as he was young, got into a shit ton of trouble. With a storm coming and needing a place to stay, Jason found himself desperate and breaking into a house of a man that he had seen a lot. Little did he know, Jason had stumbled upon a house of a US Marine, who was watching the home for a friend while he was on shore leave. The US Marine, Peter Sparts allowed Jason to stay the night, but he was most likely going to report Jason to the authorities in the morning. Despite this threat, Jason ended up staying, spending all night and into the early morning talking with Peter about his life, the Marines, and anything else under the sun.

By the time morning came, Peter had made a decision: if Jason were to sign up for the Marines and try to turn his life around, Peter wouldn't press any charges. Reluctantly, Jason agreed, if only because he had nowhere else to go. The two of them cleaned up the house and repaired the door that Jason had busted when he broke in, and soon they left so that Jason could enroll. By the time that 1998 ended and 1999 began, Jason was a US Marine.

Little did Jason know that the US Marine actually knew more about him than he previously had thought. The two men grew close, and Jason found that he was looking up to the much older man as the father he'd never had, and when Jason was finally in the Marines, he was placed into Peter's unit. For a while, things were good. Jason worked as a Communications Officer, and even did a radio station job for the Marines for a while, entertaining his fellow service men and women with various music genres, but his favorite was always music from the 1980s. He was given the DJ nickname Major Jam-Wizard, and Jason figured he finally knew what he wanted to do when his contract was up.

A few days before he was set to leave the marines, Jason was called into Peter Sparts' office. It was there that he revealed something that even Jason himself had started to hope might be real: that Peter was actually Jason's real father. While them meeting through the storm was just a freak happenstance, the rest was real. Peter had been worried that Jason would reject him since he was never told the truth, but instead Jason just hugged him and called him 'Dad' for the first time. Later that week, as Jason left the Marines and shipped out to his new location, the two promised to keep in touch – a promise they have kept to this day.

Soon Jason was off to start his new life. The year was 2009, Jason had just turned 29, and he had managed to get a job at a Bay Area radio station. He ended up working at that station for quite a while, continuing his Radio DJ persona, but found he was more interested in different types of music than the mainstream pop that the station was playing. He started to look around for new opportunities, and it wasn't long before he was given the chance to start up a new station online with some other Radio DJ friends he had made through the years. And so in June 2012, they started their own radio station, and Jason has been a DJ there ever since. He still has his own little set up where he plays 80s music for a bit, as well as playing up and coming alternative rock songs. He could not be happier.

Well, he could, but he's pretty much accepted that his personal life will always be a mess. We can't have it all, can we?

star-lord (peter quill)
Peter Quill was conceived as a result of the love between the terran Meredith Quill and the Spartoi Emperor at the time, J'son. J'son left Earth soon after conceiving Peter in order to continue his intergalactic war, leaving Meredith on Earth in order to protect her. Nine months later, during an unusual astronomical phenomenon when many of the planets aligned, Peter was born and not much later his mother Meredith, for reasons she could not quite explain, had the urge to take him outside and present him to the stars.

For ten years, Quill was raised by Meredith who remained a single mother but had help from her best friend Lisa Chang and her daughter Monica. Peter soon started developing a big interest in sci-fi shows and after a visit to an amusement park where he was impressed by the wonders of space, he decided he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up, however he was a little disappointed later when he found out the aliens on the ride weren't real.

One day Peter returned home, bruised from trying to stop a bully. As he was washing up for dinner, his mother saw a bright light and two Badoon aliens emerged. Vowing to end the 'Spartoi bloodline', they killed Meredith. After Quill saw the aliens and his dead mother, he panicked and ran. As the aliens pursued, he grabbed a shotgun and managed to kill them with it. He then found a mysterious device in a closet. Seeing a bright light he fled the house, just before the alien ship destroyed it.

Quill was placed in an orphanage where he had much trouble adapting and finding a foster home, he never lost his desire to become an astronaut, leave Earth and find the aliens that killed his mother though. Eventually, Lisa, now a NASA commander, got him a job as a mechanic in the NASA Ops Launch Facility on California. Once there, Peter started training in secret with the simulators during all his free time. One day, after an altercation with an important Astronaut, Lisa had no choice but to discharge Peter from his position at the facility. Feeling this was his last chance to get to space, he stole a Kree ship, managed to outfly the security of the station, and left Earth. (More Here)

facts Was in the US Marines from 1998 to 2009, when he left when his contract is up. He learned a few days before he left that his commanding officer and the man who got him into the Marines, is actually his biological father. The two keep in touch as much as they can, and have formed a close relationship since then.

While in the Marines, he worked at a Marine-only radio station, taking up the name Jason 80s (or Jason Eighties), playing rock music and then his favorite music from the 1980s. This became a pretty popular station with those enlisted, and Jason decided to get into radio once he returned to Civilian life.

Originally worked at KISS 108 when he got out of the Marines and moved to Boston, Massachusetts. While he liked the job at first, he didn't really like the music all that much, so when he was given the chance to jump to Radio BDC, he was more than willing to go for it.
